To all it whom may concern l Be it known that I, J OHIIQ. HILL, of the city an county of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Composition for a Confection; and 1 do hereby declare-the following to be, a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same.

in such a manner as to give its properties to the same.

. market.

For these reasons, the p'recise amount above stated is not considered essential, nor is the name by which the confection may be called, the design being to secure nrotection under whatever name it may be used.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The use of elm-bark in a composition for a confec- 'fiOH, substantially as above set forth and described,

under whatever name it may be used or sold.
